Kenilworth, New Jersey – July 23th 2014 -MAINGEAR announced today the launch of the new Pulse 15 laptop. Following in the footsteps of the Pulse 14 and the Pulse 17, the Pulse 15 is the thinnest 15” gaming laptop that MAINGEAR has ever offered. It features the very best in class mobile hardware components with a beautiful 3K IPS wide-view screen display.

The Pulse 15 is the perfect 15 inch laptop for gamers, businesses, and creative professionals looking for a thin high performance notebook. The stunning exterior has a custom automotive paint finish that is now available in matte colors, and the 3K IPS display matches the exquisite visuals while pc gaming or viewing entertainment and hi-res images.

Thin and Powerful:

Measuring less than 1 inch in thickness and weighing less than 4 pounds, the Pulse 15 doesn't sacrifice on performance despite its size. The laptop sports the Intel™ Core® i74710HQ mobile processor that can be boosted from 2.5GHz to 3.5GHz using Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, paired with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M with 3GB of video memory that provides top performance, stunning visuals, and life-like physics anywhere you go. The Pulse 15 packs more power and performance into a thin gaming laptop profile than any other 15" notebook available today, and exemplifies the very best that MAINGEAR has to offer.

Seeing is Believing:

With a 3K wide-view IPS display supporting a resolution of 2880 x 1620, gamers and creative professionals will be amazed by the stunning visuals and large screen real estate. The Pulse 15 gaming laptop can also output to 2 additional external displays simultaneously using HDMI 1.4 and mini Display-Port 1.2 ports, and supports big screen viewing with up to a 3840 x 2160 4K resolution.

Speed that matters:

Gamers can minimize load times with up to two mSATA SSD’s in RAID 0 (128GB or 256GB) that can maximize read speeds to over 900MB/s. For network connectivity, the Pulse 15 features Killer™ E2200 LAN networking that offers up to 5x better latency and has the power to handle multiple data streams at once. This increases performance whether you are pc gaming, watching videos, or transferring large data.

Customize Style:

The Pulse 15 gaming laptop is a perfect combination of functionality and design encased in an all metal constructed chassis and has a backlit keyboard that features a full range of color options. The exterior features MAINGEAR’s new 2015 custom paint palette in a MATTE auto paint finish which offers freedom from fingerprints as well as protects the notebook from dings and scratches. MAINGEAR also offers options for laser etching and corporate branding to cater to those looking for something more personalized.

With all this performance, the Pulse 15 stays cool and quiet with its precision-tuned dual fan cooling solution for optimal airflow. The automated cooler boost feature cleverly adjusts airflow during extreme gaming sessions to keep the system cool.

Although I have been writing about new software and hardware for almost a decade, I consider myself to be old school. I always enjoy listening to music on CD or tape instead of digital files and I will not even get into the touchscreen vs physical keys debate. However, I also enjoy new technology, as I now have the chance to take a look at the future every day. I joined the Notebookcheck crew back in 2013 and I have no plans to leave the ship anytime soon.
